This YouTube channel is using AI to gloriously remaster classic game cutscenes Posted: 25 Jul 2021 04:53 PM PDT Twenty years ago, when photorealistic games were still just a faraway dream, companies like Square sent our imaginations soaring before we played, with big-budget intros and cutscenes. Long before Overwatch normalized the practice of releasing Pixar-quality animated shorts for each new character, Blizzard's Diablo II and Capcom's Onimusha 3 put us in the demon slaying mood with incredible mini-movies stretching to six minutes each. But if you dare try watching these classics on a modern 4K TV or even a 1080p monitor, they'll look like a pixelated mess. That's where a YouTube channel named Upscale and machine learning comes in — making them look nearly as good as they did on your old CRT. Or perhaps even better. It just depends how well... |
MLB will try encrypted transmitters and bone conduction to stop sign stealing Posted: 25 Jul 2021 02:34 PM PDT Baseball has a sign stealing problem — or at least, a technological one, seeing how reading another team's pitches is technically legal, but using Apple Watches or telephoto cameras and then suspiciously banging on trash cans is very much not. But soon the MLB may try fighting fire with fire: on August 3rd, it plans to begin testing an encrypted wireless communication device that replaces the traditional flash of fingers with button taps, according to ESPN. The device, from a startup called PitchCom, will be tested in the Low-A West minor league first. As you'd expect from something that's relaying extremely basic signals, it's not a particularly complicated piece of kit: one wristband transmitter for the catcher with nine buttons to... |
The Pentagon says DJI drones still pose a threat, disavowing its own earlier report Posted: 25 Jul 2021 01:26 PM PDT After months of government bans on DJI drones, with lawmakers questioning whether the company was sending information to the Chinese government, the Pentagon has admitted that the drones being used might actually be safe (via The Hill), with a report saying that two "Government Edition" DJI drones are "recommended for use by government entities." However, on July 23rd, the Department of Defense released a statement on the report, saying that its release was "unauthorized," and reiterating its position that DJI's drones "pose potential threats to national security." (via Reuters) It says that its policy around the drones is unchanged, and that there is an investigation into how the "inaccurate and uncoordinated" report was released. L... |
Doctor Who’s 13th season is a single story, and here’s the first trailer Posted: 25 Jul 2021 12:19 PM PDT The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed Doctor Who to do something it hasn't done in the modern era — dedicate an entire season to a single story. That's the word from showrunner Chris Chibnall in a new Doctor Who panel at the online-only San Diego Comic-Con today. Oh, and did I mention we're getting our very first fleeting glimpse at Series 13 in a teaser trailer? Hit that video play button above to watch it. We'd learned last year that the new season would just be eight episodes long, but Chibnall says it pushed the BBC to go big: "The big thing that we're going to be doing this year is it's all one story, so every episode is one chapter in a bigger story," he says.

Banned brand Aukey is still selling earbuds on Amazon Posted: 25 Jul 2021 11:17 AM PDT When Amazon started cracking down on mobile electronics companies with shady reviewer programs, Aukey and Mpow were the first to get whacked — and yet Aukey is still selling at least three sets of wireless earbuds at the giant online retailer, The Verge has found. Two weeks ago, I pointed out to Amazon PR that both Aukey and Mpow had seemingly found a way around their bans. Mpow had an "xMpow MFly" set of wireless Bluetooth headphones, and Aukey was selling several different sets under its "Key Series" sub-brand. I've been watching their product pages ever since, and today I noticed that the xMpow MFly has disappeared. But Key Series is alive and well with three products. Aukey appears to be paying Amazon extra to promote them in... |
The Steam Deck has an ‘optional built-in FPS limiter’ for better battery life Posted: 25 Jul 2021 09:51 AM PDT When Valve and IGN revealed last Thursday that the new Steam Deck handheld will target 30Hz gameplay, not everyone was impressed with that low bar — but Valve's Pierre-Loup Griffais has taken to Twitter to clarify his original comment, and reveal a new feature of the portable console. First, he says 30 fps is more of a minimum bar than anything else: "The '30 FPS target' refers to the floor of what we consider playable in our performance testing; games we've tested and shown have consistently met and exceeded that bar so far," he writes. In other words, when Griffais said in that IGN video interview that "We haven't really found something that we could throw at this device that it couldn't... |
